Storytime Chess Storytime Chess at Casa Primary is a playful, story-led introduction to the world of chess, where imagination and strategy meet. Guided by Julia R., a polyglot educator fluent in 9 languages including Italian, French, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and more with a background in European Cultural Studies and Communication Science, children are invited into the game through narrative, characters, and creative exploration. Each session weaves storytelling with foundational chess concepts, helping children understand how pieces move, think ahead, and approach the board with curiosity rather than pressure. Through this gentle, engaging approach, children begin to develop focus, patience, and early strategic thinking. Rooted in Julia’s belief that chess is “mindfulness in motion,” the class supports not only cognitive growth, but confidence, presence, and a sense of enjoyment in learning—meeting each child with warmth, imagination, and care.
Ages 2–6
